Can I just say what a wonderful release this is for me! When you make flowers you need lots of leaves and this collection makes that so darn easy! The leaves come out of that mold with so much dimension and all you have to do is allow them to dry and use them on your project! This is going to be one of my favorites for now on! This morning I'm sharing a tag I have made and there are leaves all over it! The best part is my wrist and shoulder didn't hurt at all.

Instructions: Glue the two tags together and then cover with a piece of the cardstock. Go around the edges of the die with Grape Jelly Ink Memento Ink to accent the colors of the paper collection. Using Tuxedo Black ink, stamp the various leaves onto white cardstock. Using a dauber, color the leaves with New Sprout and Bamboo Leaves Memento ink and then cut out using the coordinating die. Place the leaves into the mold, spritz with water and run through the Vagabond to give them the beautiful 3D look! Allow the leaves to dry.

Working with the yellow flowers, stamp onto Watercolor paper using Dandelion Memento Ink. Color the centers of the flowers with Dandelion Memento Ink and a dauber. Spritz the petals and use the Groove Golf Tool Set to shape the petals. Set aside to dry. Add the Prills to the centers of the flowers and set aside to dry.

Now working with the pink flowers, stamp onto white cardstock using Rich Cocoa Memento Ink. Color with Rosebud Memento Ink and a dauber. Spritz with water and use the Deluxe Flower Shaping tools to shape and then set aside to dry. Once dry punch a hole in the center and thread through the stamen and use hot glue to hold in place. Add glitter to the edges of the flower petals using dries clear adhesive and allow to dry.

Decide on placement of the leaves and flowers and hot glue into place. Cut out the tag and using the dimensional tape, adhere to another piece of the paper collection making a little sign. Glue it down.

Color the seam binding with Grape Jelly ink and water and once dry tie a piece through the top of the tag.

This is a beautiful set. Glad you find it easy to work with. Flowers "are" always my favorite with your creations. Hope you have lots of "time" to be creative. It just disappears so quickly. Almost July 4th.. but I pretty much just enjoy the day at home. Our town has BIG events at the park all day into nightly fireworks, but 10 years or more of working there all day I just got burned out. Have a great week.

What??? More new Heartfelt? And look how beautiful! Oh, how I love those yellow flowers! I agree, you have to have lots of contrasting green to really set off the flowers. It sounds like that leaf mold was just what the doctor ordered for you. Gorgeous, Glenda!
